Wedding Invitations and Bridal Stationery

Wow... it's true!... Time really does fly when you're having fun! lol... Since my last post I've been busy developing a new card line - a line of wedding invitations and bridal stationery! A new bridal shop is opening up in Wisconsin soon and I am developing a line of custom printed invitations and bridal stationery for them. Here's a peek at what I've been working on --

Altogether there will be 20 photo images, and as you can see each photo image with come in either a light or dark border because some brides prefer the bolder look of a dark border. I'm thinking that the white cactus flower image may appeal to a bride who wants a less traditional, slightly 'edgier' look. Someone who saw these images early in the card development process commented that the cactus flower is a fitting bridal image because love and marriage isn't all about romance and good times - there can be some thorny time, too!

I'm planning on putting together a catalog so a bride can see all the choices of image, font style and type of stationery. For example, wedding invitations could be folded cards or flat unfolded cards. Thank you cards will be available in two sizes - 5 x 7" and 3.25 x 5.25". A bride could also order RSVP cards, reception information cards, save the date folded cards or postcards, table place cards, dinner menu cards, wedding programs, and bookmarks that could be given to guests as favors.

Are there any other types of wedding stationery that you think would be good to include? Something you wish had been available when you got married? Or something you saw at someone's wedding and thought was a really good idea? I'd love to hear your suggestions.
